In December 2005, we began pilot projects in the villages of Labadi and Bod Mer Limbè. Vwa Ayiti trained and helped organize a 13-member Local Executive Committee made up of men and women ranging in age from 19 to 67 years old.  The Committee is non-denominational and many different beliefs systems, but shares one common vision: to return Haiti to a self-sustaining natural paradise. The Committee now administers and manages Labadi’s sanitation, water purification, and health initiatives.

Vwa Ayiti’s primary goal is self-sufficiency, so hands-on management as well as organizational and technical training is key to all our initiatives.  We provide a “business model” for each Vwa Ayiti project, and then walk our team and the community through the entire process, providing on-going project support and education.

While Vwa Ayiti is working together with the Haitian government, organizations and other NGOs to physically rebuild Haiti, we are also providing individuals and groups opportunities to utilize their business and management training.  With a little help, the Haitian people can and will create a brilliant future!
